Last Christmas and Yesterday

WEIGHT LOSS VS FAT LOSS
Weight loss is obviously how many pounds of body weight we lose, and it is the only thing a scale can tell us. It includes weight lost from fat reduction, muscle atrophy, decreased water and nutrient retention, and decreased contents of the digestive tract. This is not really what most of us want to focus on. Instead, we…

Insecurity surprised me...
I had dinner with a friend Sunday night whom I have not seen since June. I was excited to see her, and was wondering what her reaction would be to my 29 lb weight loss. Last time she saw me I was in a size 18-20, this time I was in a size 14 jean. A loose 14 too! Well....there really was no reaction. When we ordered, I…

an actual real question about working out
So, I have been working out everyday since July 6. And I keep reading/hearing about how it is important to have a "rest day" - well, I took my rest day yesterday and today I felt like complete poo until I did the treadmill. I usually do not have that feeling, but I felt heavy, and just off. How important is a rest day?…

Question for the moms...(or Dads)
Do you find that when you cook dinner that you make something separate for yourself? The past 2 nights, I cooked something for my family that would put me over in my calories, so I made myself something different, like just a plain chicken breast with some rosemary and thyme and veggies. I try to make something that would…

Logging Steps...
I am using a pedometer, it is not one that tracks calories, just steps. Is there anywhere in our excerise log where we can add how many steps we take to figure out how many calories are burned? I know there are "walking" options, but I am not sure how to go about this.... THANKS!:smile:

Dress Size does not = weight?
So, last night I was informed by a few co-workers that I am "not normal" because we were talking about weight loss and dress sizes. I said I went from a size 20 at 235 lbs to a 14 at 200 lbs. The last time I was in a size 10, I was 180lbs. I actually pulled my tag from my pants to show them that they were a size 14 and I…

Staying on track...
I am on day 28 of my "lifestyle" change. I had a diet buddy, but she gave up. I have no intention of quitting this time around.
